What is a Home Energy Audit?

A home energy audit is a comprehensive evaluation of how efficiently your home uses and retains energy. Unlike a simple HVAC check, it examines your home as a complete system. Every part of your home — from ductwork to insulation to window and door seals — plays a role in keeping conditioned air inside and preventing unnecessary energy waste.


During your residential energy audit, we inspect the components that impact airflow, insulation, and overall system performance. This includes conducting a blower door test to identify leaks, checking registers for proper airflow, and ensuring your air handler is properly sealed. Our approach ensures your HVAC system isn’t working harder than it needs to — saving you money and extending the life of your equipment.

Why a Whole Home Energy Audit Matters

A whole home energy audit is more than just an inspection. It’s a blueprint for maximizing your comfort and minimizing wasted energy. Many homeowners are unaware of the small leaks and inefficiencies in their home that can lead to higher utility bills and uneven temperatures.


Even minor gaps in ductwork or window seals can allow cooled or heated air to escape, forcing your system to run longer and harder. Over time, this not only increases your energy costs but also shortens the lifespan of your HVAC equipment. By performing a home energy efficiency audit, we can pinpoint these problems and recommend targeted solutions that make the most impact for your budget.

Our Process

Our certified Home Energy Audit is a 4-hour comprehensive home check-up. We inspect your home’s insulation, ducts, HVAC performance, and overall energy efficiency. We use specialized tools – like a blower door fan, a smoke test, and an infrared camera – to pinpoint where your home is losing energy. In the end, you’ll get a detailed report and expert recommendations to improve comfort and save on energy bills.

  • Initial Consultation

    Every home is unique, which is why we start with a conversation. During the initial consultation, we’ll ask about comfort issues you’ve noticed — rooms that are always too hot or too cold, drafts near windows or doors, or unusually high energy bills. We’ll also review your past utility statements to identify patterns of energy use and waste. This step ensures that your residential energy audit is customized to your specific home and concerns, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • Ductwork Inspection

    Your duct system is responsible for delivering conditioned air throughout the home, but leaks and loose connections can cause significant losses. In fact, ductwork issues are one of the top reasons HVAC systems become inefficient. During this step, we inspect your ducts for holes, poorly sealed joints, or areas where the duct insulation has deteriorated. We also test airflow at different points in the system to confirm whether air is being lost along the way. Fixing ductwork problems is one of the fastest ways to improve efficiency after a home energy assessment.

  • Insulation Assessment

    Insulation is a major factor in keeping your home at the right temperature. If your attic, walls, or floors don’t have enough insulation — or if it’s improperly installed — you could be losing a large portion of your conditioned air. During the home energy efficiency audit, we examine the type, depth, and condition of your insulation. We’ll determine if it meets current energy-saving standards and whether upgrades could significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs. Proper insulation not only improves comfort but also helps your HVAC system operate more efficiently year-round.

  • Blower Door Test

    A blower door test is one of the most important parts of a whole home energy audit. By mounting a powerful fan to one of your exterior doors, we can create a slight pressure difference inside the home. This helps us pinpoint where air is leaking through gaps, cracks, and weak seals. Whether it’s around windows, doors, or hidden spaces in the attic, the blower door test reveals problems that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Identifying and sealing these leaks makes your home more comfortable and reduces wasted energy.

  • Register & Airflow Testing

    Uneven airflow can lead to hot and cold spots throughout your home. As part of the energy audit Phoenix AZ process, we test airflow at every register to ensure the system is balanced. This means confirming that each room is getting the right amount of conditioned air based on its size and use. If we detect weak airflow in certain areas, it may point to duct restrictions, leaks, or blockages. Balanced airflow improves comfort, eliminates temperature swings, and reduces strain on your HVAC system.

  • Detailed Report & Recommendations

    Once the audit is complete, we’ll put everything together in a clear, easy-to-read report. This document summarizes the findings from your home energy efficiency audit Phoenix AZ and provides specific recommendations for improvements. To make it simple, we prioritize these solutions by impact and return on investment — starting with the upgrades that will save you the most money and deliver the biggest comfort improvements. You’ll also receive information on available rebates or utility incentives, so you can maximize savings when completing recommended upgrades.
